Actress and comedian Melissa McCarthy was spotted Friday outside CNNsNew York offices on a motorized podium, doing her parody of Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary. She was presumably filming a scene for an upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live.

Stunts like this only further prove how far down the liberal rabbit hole the satirical show has gone. At this point, it might as well be considered an anti-Trump political action committee.

The only parody performances we ever get to see are of conservatives the series refuses to grow or become anything more than a program that makes tired old jokes about anything and everything Trump-related.

"Saturday Night Live" is made by, and for, liberals. It continues to ignore a major portion of the country and voters at its own peril.

It's no longer satire but a weaponized political tool, used by the Left for its own purposes.

In an era of political upstarts, Germanys biggest election drama features a more traditional player: Christian Lindner, a young career politician based in Dsseldorf familiar with the national stage, is attempting to return his Free Democratic Party (FDP) to its customary role of kingmaker in German politics. If he succeeds, it could be a game changer for Germanys next government and provide a pathway out of the current comfortable but suffocating grand coalition between the conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) and the Social Democrats (SPD). Over the last several years in which the two major parties have been aligned, they have diluted their identities to meet in the middle. Although stable, the grand coalition has failed to inspire.

Lindners chances of achieving that goal will become clearer after Sundays state election in North Rhine-Westphalia, in which the FDP is expected to win well over ten percent of the vote. Combined with its strong showing in the Schleswig-Holstein state elections, the party should make its way back into the federal parliament and could join forces with Chancellor Angela Merkels CDU and, if needed, the Greens, to form a government.

Historically, the FDP, which adheres to economic and social liberalism, has been a pivotal player in Germany politics. It has worked as a junior partner to form governments with the CDU or the center-left SPD. Hans-Dietrich Genscher, the statesman who navigated German reunification in 1989, unfortunately saw his beloved FDP diminish in stature in the last few years of his life. The first sign came when the Greens usurped the FDP to establish a government with the SPD in 1998. The downfall was complete in 2013, when the party couldnt muster the five percent threshold to enter parliament, a crushing blow for a party that had been active in German politics for over six decades.

Today the German political landscape is highly fragmented. A record five parties (the Greens, the Alternative for Germany, the Christian Social Union, the Left, and

I rarely use the word stupid. Most frequently the word I use is ignorant which means lacking knowledge or awareness. Stupid means something significantly different. Stupidity means lacking intelligence, understanding, reason, wit and/or good sense. Republicans have often referred to liberals as just plain wrong though some invoked stupidity in a knee-jerk manner. If you doubted that liberals are stupid, we now have proof.

The proof comes from the high priests of the Left the editorial board of The New York Times. What set them off and displayed their complete lack of intelligence and good sense was their editorial attacking former President Obama for taking a $400,000 speaking fee from Cantor Fitzgerald. In an editorial entitled The Cost of Obamas Speech, they reacted with shock that he would accept such a fee from the forces he was fighting against. And this is not feigned shock like Captain Louie in Casablanca. This is real shock.

They even quoted his own words from The Audacity of Hope. I read that book. I just thought the people who fell for his slop were fools. Now I know they are stupid.

Ruth Marcus joined the chorus of the offended and took to the pages of the Washington Post to chastise the Obamas for the $400,000 fee. The stupidity of the Left was further validated when Vox published an article with a title that states the $400,000 fee will undermine everything Obama believes in.

Everything Obama believes in is Obama. Did you really think he was going to live by all that garbage he was shoveling down your throats?

Isnt it interesting that the Obamas are following the same pattern as the Clintons? First, totally forget where you came from. The Obamas will return to Chicago as frequently as the Clintons have returned to Arkansas. The Obamas will do obligatory visits to the presidential library and maybe catch a Chisox game.

In Los Angeles we live with celebrities on a daily basis. We have a term for people like Obama who are enamored by these celebrities Star_____. The Obamas would be the King and Queen of that if they were not exceeded by you guessed it, the Clintons.

But did you not get a hint where the Obamas were headed when they signed what is estimated to be a $60-65 million deal for their memoirs. Penguin is going to have to sell a lot of books. That means a royalty of $6.50 on each of 10 million books sold. Seems more like a bribe than good business.

But let us review what the Obamas have been doing since they left office:

Amazingly, none of this set-off the Leftists. Hanging with the ultra-rich is fine; just dont take Wall Street money.

Did you really think Obama was going to be hangin with the common folk? Jay Z and Beyonc will be how they will be rollin in the future along with clipping his Gs as he did when he was talking to the common folk. Maybe some time at Oprahs many estates. He will be hobnobbing with anyone rich and famous who will take him on exclusive golf courses where he can wine and dine with the elite.

Some would say the Obamas deserve to make a lot of money because they sacrificed for the country for eight years. Not to get technical, but the people of the United States provide handsomely for them. Obama receives a pension of $205,700 the first year out of office which will increase over time. He also receives funding for staffing, rent, travel, etc. This does not include his secret service protection. This amounts to millions of dollars each year. He may even have some friends who would pick up a few meals for him and maybe a few rounds of golf.

Fascinating how easily the Left is captivated by rich people who are willing to say and do things that further their own exclusive lifestyle. Somehow they still think the Democratic Party cares about the commoner. It is all about power and money. Money in their pockets.

The question is, are you stupid enough to believe them?

President Donald Trump discussed his next steps and ways to connect with the American people amid many obstructions from the media to Democrats during an interview with Jeanine Pirro for "Justice With Judge Jeanine" on Saturday.

Weve freed up this system, which was all glued up, so that people can build houses and they can build factories and they can build so much, Trump said. Our trade deals are about to come. Theyre going to be unbelievable. Were doing things and I honestly believe that people see it. But theres no question, it would be wonderful to go fast, but I want it to be done right.

The president believes everyday Americans can see the successes of his administration.

He said, What Im most proud about is whats happening with the country. You look at jobs are way up. Its going to be unbelievable the trade deals were making for this country. We have the worst trade deals ever made by any country anywhere and were making them into great deals. The business that were now reopening with China thats been gone for many, many years, especially when you look at natural gas, and especially when you look at the deal we just made on cattle. Its really something special.

Trump talked about the busyness of being president and how his life now is having meeting after meeting from cutting the price of the airplanes with Lockheed to cutting the price of airplanes with Boeing.

Im a very active president. Im doing like Im dealing with China, Im dealing with Japan, Im dealing with North Korea, Im dealing with all of these different things, Trump said. I am a very activeperson. I have a lot of very positive things going on right up here for this country.

Trump added later in the interview, Another president, Jeanine, will sit in the Oval Office and do practically nothing all day. Im doing every minute of the day Im doing something. Im cutting prices, Im were going this nation has such unbelievable potential.

The president dismissed media accounts about his efforts to repeal and replace ObamaCare: It wasnt really an initial failure. It was just a continuation of a negotiation.

Obamacare is dead, its dying. Ive been saying that for a long time, the president said. Now Aetna just pulled out, the big insurance company just pulled out, and we have to come up with a plan, because Obamacare is dead.

The president also dismissed a New York Times article saying he demanded loyalty from FBI Director James Comey, whom he abruptly fired on Tuesday. His administration is on a fast track to nominate a replacement and several candidates were interviewed Saturday at the Department of Justice. I want loyalty to the country. I mean I want loyalty to the United States of America. I want him to do a good job or her to do a great job, Trump said.

Beyond the media, the president commented on opposition from the Democrats. Well, theyre obstructionists, Trump said. I mean what they want to do is obstruct and delay, and Im actually very surprised with Chuck Schumer because I know him; Ive known him for a long time. I cannot I really am surprised that hes become such hes gone so far left in order to get into the Elizabeth Warren group that I think hes hurting himself.

The president added, And I also dont think they can win any more elections unless they start changing their tune.

The president,however, is very optimistic about the Republican Party. Were going to end up winning. Weve been winning. We won, and now you look, we have the House, we have the Senate.

At the end of the interview, Judge Jeanine asked the president about what his late brother, Fred, who died in 1981 at 42 of complications associated with alcoholism, would think of his younger brothers achievements.

Were going to have, I think, I would love to say one of the truly great impacts of any president on the lives and the betterment of lives, people of this nation, said Trump, noting his brother would be very proud.

Fred would be looking down and he would say keep going. And I would tell you if it were different. If I thought he would be looking down and saying you can do better here or there, I think hed be very proud of the things that weve accomplished, having to do with everything from jobs to the military to the borders. You see whats happening on the borders, Trump said. Were going to have to solve some big problems, like the North Korea problem that weve been talking about. But I think hed be very proud.
